Virginia- no longer Live Free or Die

[TerryMiller]

Isn't Virginia one of the states that Bloomberg had his police investigating, claiming that many weapons used in crimes in New York City were purchased in that state?

If so, will that the the next thing they go after?

Like I asked in the other related thread: Should we in Oklahoma be concerned that our carry laws meet or exceed VA's requirements? I'm concerned that we made that list of 5.

While I doubt that Mr Herring himself will be attacking you or your children, I see your point.

He's not worried about them attacking his family, he's worried about what they are doing--attacking his liberty.

I was wondering that too - is there any evidence that out-of-State licensed concealed carry permitees are committing crimes at a significant rate in VA?

I'm glad we're on their good side. I plan to visit my old home state again in April.

Virginia has become a disgusting cesspit since 2008. The demographics of Virginia needs to be purged of these traitors.

Suspending reciprocity with states that don't meet their minimum requirements isn't really a big shocker. Pennsylvania gave me a CCW permit simply based on my OK permit. I'm guessing they did a quick check on my info but all I did was send them a copy of my OK permit and they sent me a PA CCW in about a week and a half. It was only $25, is valid without photo and a 6th grader could recreate the un-laminated form on any PC. As a freedom loving American I thought it was great but honestly that wasn't too much of a check.

One reason an OK CCW is not accepted in some states is because we have a 10 year option, I'm a little surprised that didn't get us on their list. I like that 10 year option so I can pay and forget about messing with paperwork for a decade but some states think that's too long to go between checks..

We have it pretty good here in OK, that's for sure. The list of states that recognize our permit is much larger than it was the first time I got mine. That's a really good thing. Just a few years ago I had to unload while going through KS on my quarterly drive to CO, now they have constitutional carry.

Good point. We need Constitutional Carry like yesterday.

I think we do....if you're from a Constitutional Carry state.
